SABRES HOLIDAY ANGELS PROGRAM RETURNS FOR UPCOMING WINTER SEASON PRESENTED BY SPECTRUM NEWS
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team will partner with Child & Family Services of Buffalo and Spectrum News for the Sabres Holiday Angels program. Sabres Holiday Angels is an adopt-a-family program that allows Sabres fans to support our neighbors in need this holiday season.
“The holidays are a very special time, and we are proud to join the Sabres in bringing the Western New York community together in the spirit of giving to help people in need,” said Kelly Holland, Spectrum News Buffalo news director. “By bringing increased awareness to the program, we hope every family will have joy this holiday season.”
Sabres fans can visit sabres.com/holidayangels to adopt a family to provide gifts to. After registering to adopt, fans will receive information via email with details regarding gifts for the family they have been chosen to support. Information will typically include age, gender, clothing size and interests for each person to assist with shopping efforts.
Fans can also donate individual gifts to the program. The gift can be an item of the donor’s choosing and Child & Family Services will match the gift with a person or family in need. Additionally, fans have the option to bring wrapping paper and wrapping accessories to one of the drop-off locations listed below or donate a gift card by mailing it directly to 844 Delaware Ave., Buffalo NY 14209.
